Growing up, I was always interested in health, tossing the white bread my family would put in our cart at the grocery store and secretly replacing it with a whole grain loaf. I wanted myself, and the people I loved to feel their best and I knew, from an unusually young age, how important of a role our food played in achieving that.

My interest in health hasn’t faded, fueled by my natural inclination to want to understand what makes me feel and look my best and finding balanced ways to do so is a very important part of my life.

I am really passionate about wanting to help others reach their health and wellness goals. Living a healthy lifestyle should be about incorporating sustainable habits you can keep up with for the long run, no quick fixes or fad diets. I am all about eating an abundance of nourishing, wholesome foods.

Though achieving overall health isn't simply physical for me. It involves the mind and spirit as well. I am deeply passionate about discovering what I can do to help shape our world into a kinder, fairer, and more ethical place. We cast votes with each dollar we spend, and I want to use mine to vote for a kinder world.

I never want to be militant about my beliefs however, reminding myself that perfection is unachievable, balance is key, and being aware that everyone has different ideas, and different approaches on how to live life and that is a beautiful thing.
